Steve fans have a home base here.

This Elvis show, billed as Elvis Show the Spirit of the King at Notoriety, gives you a 2-hour night built around classic hits, crowd banter, and a performance style that feels friendly rather than distant. I love the way Steve Connolly mixes recognizable Elvis sound with humor, and I also like the practical touch of a free meet and greet and photo ops after the show for everyone. One thing to consider: seating is not presented as guaranteed reserved front-row, and a bad experience can happen if the room gets distracted.

It is an easy, adult-only Vegas plan, and it helps you avoid the usual big-show lottery. The show starts after doors open at 6:30 PM and the performance begins at 7:00 PM, and you get a mobile ticket so you can focus on Fremont Street energy instead of paperwork. The main drawback is that show quality depends on crowd behavior, and your view can be affected if the theater shifts seats during the performance.

Key things that make this Elvis show worth your time

• Steve Connolly’s combo of Elvis sound and comedy, so it is not just impersonation.
• A small-venue vibe, which helps him read the room and keep energy high.
• Sing-along classics, with lots of audience interaction.
• Free meet and greet and photo ops after the show, included for everyone.
• Taxes and fees included in the price of $40.88, so the total is what you expect.
• It is an 18+ show, which keeps the atmosphere focused on the performance.

Entering Notoriety, where the Elvis show feels close

This is an Elvis tribute show built for connection. Notoriety is the setting, and the whole point is that you are not stuck far away from the action. A number of fans describe it as intimate, the kind of room where the performer can actually see the people he is talking to, not just their reflections in phone screens.

I like the feel of a small Vegas theater for tribute shows. You get more of the performance rhythm, more of the crowd back-and-forth, and less of that giant-venue delay where you are watching a stage light more than the person. That intimacy is one reason people give this show such strong scores, including a 4.8 rating across 14 reviews and a 93% recommendation.

The other big factor is the “worked the room” style. In plain terms, Steve Connolly does not treat the audience like background. He engages, jokes, and keeps things moving, which matters because Vegas evenings can feel chaotic already. If you want a straightforward, fun plan with a clear start time, this fits.

Steve Connolly’s performance: classics plus humor you can feel

The star here is Steve Connolly, presented as the ultimate Elvis tribute show performer. From what you can see described in the show experience, he aims for more than copying poses. He goes for Elvis sound, Elvis look, and Elvis charisma, plus a layer of humor that helps the night feel like entertainment, not a reenactment lecture.

What stands out most in the positive feedback is how well he lands the balance. You are there for the classics, but the show is also comedy-friendly. One common theme is that he uses banter and interaction to keep people involved, and that he reads the crowd quickly, adjusting his energy as the room reacts.

There is also mention of a strong supporting act, including a standout guitar player described as phenomenal. That matters because rock-and-roll lives or dies on music momentum. When the band energy is tight, the audience sings louder, and you actually get that old-school Vegas electricity without needing a massive production budget.

If you are a mild Elvis fan, you might still enjoy it because the show is designed to be accessible. If you are a die-hard, you might appreciate the focus on familiar songs and the performer’s effort to bring the full persona into the room.

Timing and your best arrival strategy

Doors open at 6:30 PM and the show begins at 7:00 PM. The experience is listed as about 2 hours, so you should plan on a fairly compact evening. This is helpful in Vegas, where the night can turn into a series of late starts and mismatched schedules.

I recommend arriving close to door time, not five minutes before show. In small venues, you want time to get settled, find your sightline, and get your phone ready if you are doing photos right away. This also gives you a smoother transition into the meet and greet after the show, when you want your camera charged and your group organized.

Another practical point: booking happens in advance. The average booking window is about 40 days, which is a clue that popular time slots and sold-out situations can happen. If you have a specific night you want, pick it early instead of guessing.

The free meet and greet and photo ops, after the applause

Here is the part many people plan around, the free meet and greet and photo ops after the show. It is included for everyone, not just a premium add-on. In real Vegas terms, that can be the difference between watching a show and going home with a memory you can hold.

Because it is after the performance, you do not have to worry about getting to a special check-in time earlier in the evening. You just show up, enjoy the show, then stay for the extra moment. That flow is convenient when you are already bouncing between attractions on Fremont Street.

One caution, based on what you might experience in any meet-and-greet situation: timing can depend on crowd size. Even when the offer is clear, the line and photo timing can feel busy right after the show ends. If you want the best shot, be ready right away and know who you are bringing so you can get through without scrambling.

Price and what $40.88 buys you in real value

The price is $40.88 per person, and the listing notes that all taxes and fees are included. That is more valuable than it sounds. In Vegas, lots of deals advertise a low base rate and then tack on surprises at checkout. Here, your total should be what you expect, which makes budgeting easier.

Is it worth it? For me, the value comes from three things happening together:

1) a known Elvis tribute performer (Steve Connolly),

2) classic songs with interaction, not a silent stage show,

3) the free meet and greet and photo ops included after.

If you were to buy the show ticket alone and skip the photo moment, you would still likely feel you got your money’s worth, based on the strong ratings and repeated comments about fun and charm. The meet-and-greet turns it into an experience, not just a performance.

Also note it is an 18+ show. If you are traveling as adults and want an evening plan that fits the vibe of classic Vegas entertainment, this is a good match. If you are traveling with minors, you will need to pick a different option.

Where things can go wrong: seating and crowd distractions

This is where I keep it real.

There is at least one notably negative review describing a disappointment with the impersonator and, separately, issues with hecklers affecting the performance. That review also described seating trouble, including a situation where the person expected front-row and then felt their view was blocked when seats were changed during the show.

What does that mean for you? First, do not assume guaranteed reserved front-row seating. Even if you pick what looks like a better option at booking, treat the final view as “best effort,” especially in smaller theaters. If getting the perfect camera angle is your top priority, you should plan for the possibility that the view might not be frame-filling.

Second, crowd behavior can affect any live interactive show. If you end up near hecklers or distractions, you may feel the energy dip. This is not unique to Elvis tributes, it is live theater reality.

The good news is that the overall ratings are strong, and the majority of feedback focuses on polished, funny, and engaging performance. So the risk is there, but the odds look favorable.

Mobile tickets, service animals, and easy public transport

Your ticket is listed as mobile, which is convenient. Bring your phone with the ticket ready, and avoid time lost at will-call windows or ticket booths.

The show also notes service animals are allowed and it is near public transportation. I like that because Vegas can be a car-and-traffic mess. If you are staying somewhere walkable, or you are using rideshare and buses, this kind of location guidance helps you plan a calmer evening.

Confirmation is received at the time of booking, so you should not need to chase details later. That helps if your itinerary is tight and you are moving day to day.

A smooth Fremont Street plan that keeps photos and photos fun

If you are building a night around Fremont Street, this show is a good anchor. People specifically connect it with an exciting Fremont Street evening, so it pairs naturally with dinner and street wandering before showtime.

Here’s how to make the night feel easy:

• Arrive around 6:30 PM door time, so you can settle without rushing.
• Keep your phone charged. You will want it for the photo moment after the show.
• If you care about photos, choose a seat with a clear line from where you will be during the meet and greet flow.
• Come with an attitude of sing-along fun, not stage-by-stage critique. The show is built for crowd interaction.

Also, since it is an Elvis tribute with humor, dressing a little nicer than full club mode can pay off. You are going to meet a performer afterward. Comfortable shoes matter too, because you may still be on your feet during pre-show wandering and in any post-show line.

Should you book Elvis Show the Spirit of the King?

I think you should book it if you want a classic Vegas night with real audience energy and you like Elvis music enough to sing along. The performance approach, the strong rating history, and especially the free meet and greet and photo ops make it feel like more than just a ticket stub.

Skip it or think twice if you:

• need guaranteed reserved front-row seating for your exact camera setup,
• are traveling with expectations that are very strict about performer interpretation,
• or you are very sensitive to crowd distractions in interactive shows.

If you fall in the first group, this looks like a high-value plan for an adult Elvis night. Book early since the average booking lead time is about 40 days, and then show up ready to have fun, not just watch.
